Video Soft Cheese-Filled Shortbread: Perfect Cookies in 20 Minutes

Indulge in this exquisite recipe for soft and buttery cookies filled with creamy cheese. For the filling, mix cream cheese with powdered sugar and chill while you prepare the dough. In a large bowl, cream extra-soft butter with sugar until smooth. Add an egg, dry ingredients and a hint of red food coloring for a fun twist, or leave it out for a classic chocolate flavor. Gently knead the dough, shape into balls, and place them on parchment paper with some space between each. Bake at 340°F for 20 minutes. Slightly cool the cookies before serving to enjoy their delicate texture.
